AutoQ End User Licence Agreement

Version 1.0 · October 2026

DRAFT FOR LEGAL REVIEW. This agreement was drafted for the AutoQ product and has not been reviewed by a lawyer. Have it reviewed, and complete every item in square brackets, before it is used with customers. It is not legal advice.

This End User Licence Agreement ("Agreement") is between [LICENSOR LEGAL NAME], [ADDRESS] ("AutoQ", "we", "us") and the organization that buys or uses the Software ("Licensee", "you"). By ticking "I accept" when ordering, by selecting "I accept the agreement" when installing, or by using the Software, you agree to this Agreement on behalf of your organization, and you confirm that you have authority to do so. If you do not agree, do not order, install or use the Software.

1. Definitions

Software means the AutoQ review server, page and installers (including Enterprise Version 2.1 and later updates we provide), together with the control library workbooks we supply, such as the Data Center Security Review.

Documentation means the User Manual, Administrator Manual and the manual Building a New AI-Assisted Control Questionnaire, as updated from time to time.

Order means your purchase, as recorded by our reseller (section 7), or a written quote or order form signed by both parties, stating the edition, the number of Sites and the Term.

Site means one physical or cloud location, operated by you, where one installation of the Software runs on one server computer.

Your Data means the answers, comments, names, site details, passwords, workbooks, backups and other information that you or your users enter into or produce with the Software, including control questionnaires you create.

2. Licence

2.1 Subject to this Agreement and payment of the fees, we grant you a non-exclusive, non-transferable, non-sublicensable licence, for the Term, to install and use the Software for your internal business purposes:

2.2 You may make a reasonable number of backup copies of the Software and the Documentation.

2.3 You may change the control library workbooks and review.json files, and create new control questionnaires, for use with the Software under this Agreement. You may not modify the Software's program files except as the Documentation describes (for example, its settings).

3. Restrictions

You may not, and may not allow anyone else to:

The Software includes program files in human-readable form. Being able to read them gives you no rights beyond this Agreement.

4. Your Data

4.1 The Software runs on your own computers. We do not receive, store or have access to Your Data, and you own it.

4.2 When the review page or website is open, the browser loads fonts from Google Fonts. These requests are made by your users' browsers under those providers' terms; they do not include Your Data.

4.3 You are responsible for your network, the computer the Software runs on, backups of Your Data, the passwords you set, turning on HTTPS where needed, and who you give access to.

5. Content, frameworks and AI-generated questionnaires

5.1 The control library content, test procedures, statements of fact, effects and recommendations are provided as a starting point for qualified professionals. They are not a substitute for professional judgment. You are responsible for deciding which controls apply, how they are tested, and what your reports say.

5.2 References to NIST, ISO/IEC, COBIT and other frameworks are provided for mapping only. AutoQ is not affiliated with or endorsed by the organizations that publish them, and you are responsible for checking references against the editions you use.

5.3 Control questionnaires that you create with an artificial intelligence service, following the Documentation or otherwise, are created by you, using that service under its own terms. We do not control those services and are not responsible for the accuracy, completeness or suitability of their output. You must have every such questionnaire reviewed by a qualified person before relying on it.

5.4 The Software does not provide legal, audit, accounting or other professional advice, and its findings and ratings are drafts for your review.

6. Third-party components

The Software includes or installs third-party components, including Node.js, win-acme (a certificate tool from its own authors, under the Apache License 2.0), jsPDF (the PDF library the review page uses, under the MIT licence) and open-source packages, that are licensed under their own terms (for example the MIT licence). Their licence files are included with the Software. Those terms govern those components, and nothing in this Agreement restricts rights they grant you.

7. Ordering, fees, taxes and refunds

7.1 Online orders are processed by our reseller and merchant of record, Lemon Squeezy, which handles payment, sales tax and VAT, receipts and, where applicable, refunds, under its buyer terms. We never see your card details.

7.2 Fees are as stated at the time of your Order. Site and Enterprise licences are annual and renew as described in your Order unless cancelled before the renewal date.

7.3 Refunds: you may request a full refund within [30] days of your first purchase of a licence if the Software does not work for you. Renewals are not refundable once the renewal period has started, except where the law requires.

8. Term and termination

8.1 This Agreement starts when you accept it and continues for the Term stated in your Order and any renewals.

8.2 Either party may terminate this Agreement if the other materially breaches it and does not cure the breach within 30 days of written notice.

8.3 When this Agreement ends or your licence expires without renewal, you must stop using the Software and uninstall it. [DECISION: or allow continued use of the last version received, without updates or support.] Your Data remains yours: the uninstaller leaves your data folder in place, and your workbooks remain usable in Microsoft Excel.

8.4 Sections 3, 4, 5, 9, 10 and 12 survive termination.

9. Updates and support

During the Term we provide updates that we make generally available and email support at support@autoq-ai.com, as described on our website, AutoQ-AI.com. Enterprise Orders may include additional support. We may change or discontinue features in updates, but not so as to materially reduce the core functions of the Software during a paid Term.

10. Warranty and disclaimer

10.1 We warrant that, for 30 days after you first obtain it, the Software will perform substantially as described in the Documentation. If it does not, and you tell us within that period, we will correct it or, if we cannot, refund the fees you paid for it. This is your only remedy for breach of this warranty.

10.2 EXCEPT AS STATED IN SECTION 10.1, AND TO THE EXTENT THE LAW ALLOWS, THE SOFTWARE, THE CONTENT AND THE DOCUMENTATION ARE PROVIDED "AS IS", WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, ACCURACY AND NON-INFRINGEMENT. WE DO NOT WARRANT THAT THE SOFTWARE WILL BE ERROR-FREE OR UNINTERRUPTED, OR THAT ITS CONTENT IS COMPLETE OR CURRENT.

11. Limitation of liability

11.1 TO THE EXTENT THE LAW ALLOWS, NEITHER PARTY IS LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR FOR LOSS OF PROFITS, REVENUE, DATA OR GOODWILL, ARISING OUT OF THIS AGREEMENT, EVEN IF ADVISED OF THEIR POSSIBILITY.

11.2 TO THE EXTENT THE LAW ALLOWS, OUR TOTAL LIABILITY ARISING OUT OF THIS AGREEMENT IS LIMITED TO THE FEES YOU PAID FOR THE SOFTWARE IN THE 12 MONTHS BEFORE THE EVENT GIVING RISE TO THE LIABILITY.

11.3 Nothing in this Agreement limits liability that cannot be limited by law.

12. General

12.1 Export and sanctions. You will comply with applicable export control and sanctions laws in using the Software.

12.2 Government users. The Software is commercial computer software provided with the rights in this Agreement.

12.3 Assignment. You may not assign this Agreement without our written consent, except to a successor to all or substantially all of your business that agrees to it.

12.4 Order of precedence. If an Order signed by both parties conflicts with this Agreement, the Order prevails for that Order.

12.5 Governing law. This Agreement is governed by the laws of [STATE / COUNTRY], and the courts of [VENUE] have exclusive jurisdiction, except that either party may seek urgent relief in any competent court.

12.6 Entire agreement. This Agreement, with your Order, is the entire agreement about the Software and replaces any earlier understandings. If any part is unenforceable, the rest remains in effect. A failure to enforce a right is not a waiver.

12.7 Notices. Notices to us go to [LEGAL NOTICES EMAIL]. Notices to you go to the email address used for your Order.
